His main research interest is the complex relationship between architectural processes and social mechanisms. He is the author of the Arhitecturi Relationale (Relational architectures) book, published in 2016, focused on the way socially involved architectural processes build trust, introduce disequilibrium and use familiarity in order to stimulate social interactions. He was a columnist for the Romanian monthly cultural magazine, TIMPUL (The Time). He has been part of the Petrila Urban Regeneration project since 2012, focusing mainly on the local community’s social representations of the buildings of the mine, and on appropriation and participatory tactics.
